Emerald Horizon teams with VDL Groep to build SMRX reactor core power-loop demonstrator

• Emerald Horizon entered a strategic co-development partnership with VDL Groep to industrialize its thorium-based SMRX small modular reactor.
• Partners started building the SMRX “power-loop” demonstrator in Eindhoven, aiming to bridge lab development to scalable manufacturing.
• VDL will lead engineering, manufacturing, assembly, supply chain, and series-production preparation, sharing project resources and execution risk.
• Roadmap targets a fully integrated SMRX prototype in 2029, followed by industrial series production starting in 2031.
• Each SMRX module is designed for 25 MW thermal output and about 10 MW electric in a container format with 20-year operation without refueling.
